The late MDC president Morgan Tsvangirai's estate has been hauled before the High Court over the late founding leader's alleged failure to pay a man who claims to have helped the opposition leader stitch a coalition deal for the 2013 general elections.

Initially, Moreprecision Muzadzi, had cited the late Tsvangirai, as one of the respondents.

But in his latest application, Muzadzi has sought to amend the names of the respondents, to cite Tsvangirai's estate executor Charles Maunga as the first respondent, while his brother Manasa and Morgen Komichi are the second and third respondents respectively.

In his founding affidavit, Muzadzi alleged that in January 2013, Tsvangirai agreed to engage him and his partner, Kisinoti Mukwazhe, to negotiate with opposition partyleaders not to contest the 2013 Zimbabwe general elections, but support his presidential candidature.
